I got sucked into a charming Christmas movie on Lifetime this morning called "The Spirit of Christmas" about a no nonsense female attorney who was handling a property case of an old inn in Massachusetts that was allegedly haunted. She goes there to get an appraisal done and can't find an appraiser who would do it; as every one is scared off by the alleged ghost. Well, you guessed it, her will and determination keep her from being "scared off" and she falls in love with the ghost - who incidentally, was murdered in 1915, but can be in human form as long as he's within the property lines. Scenery was beautiful.

Fantastic Beasts 2
I must admit I liked Johnny Depp in this, now I feel conflicted. They did a good job as far as writing the character of Grindelwald goes, and though I didn't have much hope from the first movie, I'm now actually looking forward to seeing him again in the 3rd one. All his scenes work very well to make us understand how he gained followers and I thought he worked great as a villain.
The film itself was good, but it suffers from the same issue that plagues way too many movies nowadays:
Too much stuff is going on, give us 30 seconds to digest the emotional twists and shit ! Like seriously we never have time to breathe anymore, and things that are built up to be emotionally crushing are not, because we're not given even 10 seconds to process them.

Whitney. The documentary. Her family - what a bunch of vultures! But I like how the director interspersed the events in Whitney's life with the world events that were occurring during her career. But her brothers are trash.

Oh yeah!! LOL! Or when Jonah Hill's character keeps trying to get Russell Brand's character to listen to his demo and when he asked him if he listened to it, Russell says "No. I decided to go on living my life!"

Yeah, Russell's character seems be a little too honest throughout the movie. I like the part where Sarah's show is canceled and she is telling Russell she doesn't know what to do, and he blurts out, "You could be queen of the groupies. You could be Queen of the Sorrow Suckers." Pauses, guiltily. "I don't know why they call them that."

^^^ Also saving Crazy Rich Asians. My son has been reading manga for many years and he is very immersed in the Asian culture. When he makes characters for video games, they're almost always these badass Asian girls. He's got more monitors in his room than I'd care to admit, but he has manga characters all over them. It's kind of beautiful because one flows into the next and so on. I'm planning a little picnic for the family room to watch CRA on Christmas night with the boy.
